Description
This semi-detached residence is situated in a pleasantly quiet location at the edge of the village of Peins, with the plot directly adjoining the meadows. The property presents itself as a well-maintained home featuring a spacious living room, a half-open kitchen, an extension housing the dining area, three bedrooms, and a garage with driveway. The garden is oriented almost entirely to the south, allowing residents to enjoy outdoor seating early in the day when the sun appears.
The village of Peins is located close to Franeker, where one can find nearly all necessary amenities including shops, hospitality venues, sports facilities, and schools. The total plot area measures 289 square meters.
Entering the property through the side entrance, one reaches the hall which contains the meter cupboard, a toilet, and the staircase to the upper floor. The spacious living room benefits from pleasant natural light and includes a storage cupboard under the stairs. The half-open kitchen is fitted with a neat corner unit arrangement equipped with an induction cooktop, extractor hood, combi-microwave, and fridge-freezer combination.
The extension, constructed approximately eight years ago, currently serves as the dining room. This space could alternatively be arranged as an additional lounge area or garden room. Sliding doors provide access to the terrace and garden. During favorable weather, the doors can be opened wide to bring the sunshine indoors. Adjacent to the dining room is the utility room, which offers space for a washing machine and dryer setup.
The attached garage features an electrically operated sectional door and a pedestrian door, providing space for bicycles, a scooter, or a car. Behind the garage, a wooden shed offers storage for garden equipment or could serve as a hobby space.
The first floor comprises a landing, three bedrooms, and a straightforward bathroom fitted with a washbasin, shower, and a second toilet. From the landing, a hatch with ladder provides access to the second floor.
The second floor consists of attic space spanning the full width of the property, offering additional storage potential.
Regarding technical specifications, heating and hot water are provided by a central heating installation. The Nefit HR boiler is approximately seven years old. An infrared panel is installed in the living room, and the extension features underfloor heating. The meter cupboard is extensively equipped with three-phase power, making it suitable for the installation of an electric vehicle charging point.

Peins is a terp village, situated on a prehistoric river bank along one of the many creeks that meandered through the present-day municipality of Waadhoeke until the Middle Ages. The village features the St. Gertrudiskerk, now in use as a refuge where walkers on pilgrimage routes can stay overnight. Several associations are active in the village, and there is a community center where activities are regularly organized.
The surrounding countryside offers excellent opportunities for walking and cycling. Franeker, with its many urban amenities, is nearby, making this location attractive for those seeking a combination of rural tranquility and convenient access to facilities.

This can be the case when the foundation type of a property does not face risk of groundwater-related foundation problems, such as desiccation of wooden piles, bacterial deterioration, uneven settlement, or rising damp. It may also apply when the foundation has been repaired. This category includes both properties where these outcomes have been established through derived reliability and properties where this is based on modeling assumptions. Additionally, it may apply when the property has been investigated and it has been demonstrated that no risk is present.
